DocWard 5,610 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Well, if we're talking "a bit different" and non-traditional, pretty much anything from Gary Hoey's "Ho! Ho! Hoey" albums: He has also done Desire, loosely based on Bach's Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and Linus and Lucy, although not on Christmas albums. Link to post Share on other sites

evil dogooder 1,002 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I was singing in Christmas pageants from the time I was little to after high school, with all the modern songs I learned over the years I still prefer the classics. But white Christmas is still my favorite. Bing just did it right, now favorite to sing is a little different. Link to post Share on other sites

Duffield, SASS #23454 1,009 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 To celebrate Christmas, I like Silent Night. For a more humorous tune, Eartha singing Santa Baby Duffield Link to post Share on other sites
DocWard 5,610 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My apologies to @Fence Cutter and others for doing my part to take the thread in a negative direction. I was not in the greatest of moods last night, and in looking back this morning, it showed. So, here is some Christmas music from an apparent Saloon favorite. I love the choral version of the song, it is fun to sing, although a heckuva challenge to not just forget about the tempo and let things take off. Link to post Share on other sites
DocWard 5,610 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Of course, one can't have Christmas without Handel's The Messiah. We performed it when I was in college, and I think my daughter still has my cassette tape of the performance. The Hallelujah Chorus is the part everyone knows. Link to post Share on other sites

Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,830 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 19 hours ago, DocWard said: If it is like we did, It probably brought in a chunk of money for the school music program, helping to buy music, instruments, and more, at no taxpayer expense, and helped some of that talent get ready for college, where some of them majored in music, and did well for themselves as a result. Then those same jerks complained about the lack of those same things that they killed off. Exactly right. Never could convince them that they were hurting the kids, though.

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 3,405 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 .... don't know that I have a favourite Carol, but I'm sure I'm about to hear a whole bunch that I don't want to hear again ..... ......................... at every blessed shopping mall and supermarket in the free world.

Henry T Harrison 1,289 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 To my mind nothing can match the 1985 Alabama Red Christmas album.

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life 793 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 The five verses of "The Three Kings". Of course I like Good King Wencelas, Hark, Silent Night and the rest. I sing them for my grandchildren until their parent beg me to stop!!! My boys tolerate my rendition of The Marine Corps Hymn's three verses and sing along with me like good boots but but their ears are too sensitive for my monotone singing of anything else.

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 900 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Enjoy many of the traditional carols, and miss being able to sing them at church.
